xUTS

functional test, maximized.

Extend test to encompass copious test points and DUT varieties along with real-time, hardware-in-the-loop and other state-of-the-art instrumentation. extendedUTS (xUTS) is a custom product for high complexity functional test. Configured for the unique needs of a class of devices under test (DUTs), the xUTS employs our universal test system approach that combines the best open platform instrumentation and software along with mass interconnect technology.

Sometimes test systems need to handle very complex or a huge variety of DUTs that require the use of many types of instrumentation, power supplies, computing architectures and techniques. Bloomy has integrated many of these sophisticated functional test and hardware-in-the-loop systems. Each employ a mass interconnect to interface the test instrumentation with the device under test through an interface test adapter (ITA). Many systems also include a self-test ITA and test sequence so that the instrumentation can be verified for proper operation up to and through the mass interconnect.

Typical components of the extendedUTS include:

18 slot PXIe chassis with quad core controller

VPC G12, G18 or 9025 mass interconnect interface jack (receiver)

Programmable AC and DC power supplies

Programmable loads

Uninterruptible power supply

Bloomy power distribution and control

Devices under test by the extendedUTS are connected via interface test adapters (ITA). Bloomy can provide turnkey cables and ITA fixtures along with test sequence development.

A Self-test Suite is also available that includes a specially configured i1 plug and test sequence to exercise all of the instrumentation and switching though to the mass interconnect, assuring the proper functioning of the xUTS in day-to-day test operations.

The rate of growth of the solar industry drove the need for a rapid solution to our dynamic test needs. Prior to the Universal Test System, we conducted test and calibration using a production machine. This consumed valuable production time which, in turn, increased our cycle time. With the versatility and scalability of the universal fixture, we now have the ability to develop a specific UUT interface for each of the boards we manufacture. This allows us to conduct test and calibration activities without consuming production time.
